Ellie had her first swim meet ... she did the freestyle 50 m and the breast stroke 25 m. She did SO AWESOME!! The fun part was that Max and Tom are on her team and they were competing against John and Nathan!!! LOVING having so many cousins around-It's the BEST!!!

 It's so awesome this summer Nate gets to come over every Thursday :) Ellie and Nate had a ball yesterday playing on the slip n slide that I scored at Walmart for $9! :) The water on the slip n slide was freeeezing so they got a Rubbermaid and filled it full of hot water to help them warm up! :) CUTE!

Girls Camp 2012

 We had a blast at girls camp this year! It was so great! Lindsey and Katie and I got to be together and we all got to know the girls and leaders in our new ward so much better! It was great!! :) We went to Aspen Lakes above Heber. We all had a wonderful experience and our testimonies were strengthened! It was awesome. I figured out this is the 6th different place I have attended Girls' camp in my life! I figured out have been to camp for 11 years! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE girls camp. It's seriously the BEST.

SUMMAH TIME

 So the girls all got a "pass of all passes" this year to 7 peaks... it was a great deal we couldn't miss out on! Lots of their cousins have one too... it's unlimited to 7 peaks, Trafalga and a bunch of sports stuff... so last Thurs they tried it out with Nate and had a blast!! :) 

 Last Friday was the 4th year hike at Aspen Lakes...  Beautiful!! I got to go with our ward... we had 3 girls that went, Daisy, Lindsey and Ciara. It was a lot of fun. I am glad I got to go! It was fun to hang out with Lindsey and to get a glimpse of what girls camp will be like next week!!! :)

So

Last Saturday the girls and I took a day trip to Cedar City to see my Dad... it was great! It felt like we hadn't seen him for SO long! Dave was on a Scout camp out and so we thought it was the perfect opportunity to go and visit Grandpa! We cleaned his house for him, took him to lunch at ... where else? Cafe Rio! and then went to the cemetery to clean and decorate my Mom's grave. All in all a fabulous day!! These girls sure do love their Grandpa!! :)
